During the middle of the first quarter, my creative writing teachers gave us a memoir project and I found this somewhat narcissistic. Not that they gave it to us, just the project itself being this way, then I started thinking about how humanity is narcissistic. Filling a whole book filled with "i's", filled with personal achievements, milestones, and hardships, but us as I a society love reading about "I"
When we write and even in normal conversation, the word "I" is the most used because we love to talk about ourselves. I only kid, this is limiting and I am fully aware that using the word "I" is required for stating your physical and emotional needs as a person. Using it is so natural that we don't even think about how self centered the whole idea of it is.
In the grand scheme of this memoir, this chapter has no meaning whatsoever, just something to think about and something I wanted to rant about. Thank you for listening.
